上一篇LayoutInflater源码分析（一）我们分析了LayoutInflater的from()方法，这节我们来分析一下inflate()方法。
view = LayoutInflater.from(parent.getContext())
.inflate(R.layout.item_vip, parent, false);
最终都会进入到如下代码：
public View inflate(XmlPullParser parser, @Nullable ViewGroup root, boolean attachToRoot) {
synchronized (mConstructorArgs) {
Trace.traceBegin(Trace.TRACE_TAG_VIEW, "inflate");
final Context inflaterContext = mContext;
final AttributeSet attrs = Xml.asAttributeSet(parser);
Context lastContext = (Context) mConstructorArgs[0];
mConstructorArgs[0] = inflaterContext;
View result = root;
//令人窒息操作part one~
try {
// Look for the root node.
int type;
while ((type = parser.next()) != XmlPullParser.START_TAG &&
type != XmlPullParser.END_DOCUMENT) {
// Empty
}
if (type != XmlPullParser.START_TAG) {
throw new InflateException(parser.getPositionDescription()
+ ": No start tag found!");
}
final String name = parser.getName();
//去掉部分代码
//令人窒息操作part two ~
if (TAG_MERGE.equals(name)) {
if (root == null || !attachToRoot) {
throw new InflateException("<merge /> can be used only with a valid "
+ "ViewGroup root and attachToRoot=true");
}
rInflate(parser, root, inflaterContext, attrs, false);
} else {
//令人窒息操作part three ~
// Temp is the root view that was found in the xml
final View temp = createViewFromTag(root, name, inflaterContext, attrs);
ViewGroup.LayoutParams params = null;
if (root != null) {
if (DEBUG) {
System.out.println("Creating params from root: " +
root);
}
// Create layout params that match root, if supplied
params = root.generateLayoutParams(attrs);
if (!attachToRoot) {
// Set the layout params for temp if we are not
// attaching. (If we are, we use addView, below)
temp.setLayoutParams(params);
}
}
if (DEBUG) {
System.out.println("-----> start inflating children");
}
// Inflate all children under temp against its context.
rInflateChildren(parser, temp, attrs, true);
if (DEBUG) {
System.out.println("-----> done inflating children");
}
// We are supposed to attach all the views we found (int temp)
// to root. Do that now.
if (root != null && attachToRoot) {
root.addView(temp, params);
}
// Decide whether to return the root that was passed in or the
// top view found in xml.
if (root == null || !attachToRoot) {
result = temp;
}
}
} catch (XmlPullParserException e) {
final InflateException ie = new InflateException(e.getMessage(), e);
ie.setStackTrace(EMPTY_STACK_TRACE);
throw ie;
} catch (Exception e) {
final InflateException ie = new InflateException(parser.getPositionDescription()
+ ": " + e.getMessage(), e);
ie.setStackTrace(EMPTY_STACK_TRACE);
throw ie;
} finally {
// Don't retain static reference on context.
mConstructorArgs[0] = lastContext;
mConstructorArgs[1] = null;
Trace.traceEnd(Trace.TRACE_TAG_VIEW);
}
return result;
}
}
通过代码和注释我们可以看到，拿到XmlResourceParser parser是用于节点的解析。
比如part one 从头到尾遍历xml文件的标签，直到
文档结束才跳出循环。如果该xml没有开始标签，则抛异常。
part two 讲的是什么呢？TAG_MERGE=”merge”，如果读到的标签是merge，判断是否有父View，没有则抛异常，有则跳转到rInflate()解析merge的xml。
part three就是当前的标签没有其他子xml，要直接解析啦。关键方法就是createViewFromTag()方法了。
（一）rInflate()解析
void rInflate(XmlPullParser parser, View parent, Context context,
AttributeSet attrs, boolean finishInflate) throws XmlPullParserException, IOException {
//获取该xml的深度 ~~
final int depth = parser.getDepth();
int type;
while (((type = parser.next()) != XmlPullParser.END_TAG ||
parser.getDepth() > depth) && type != XmlPullParser.END_DOCUMENT) {
if (type != XmlPullParser.START_TAG) {
continue;
}
final String name = parser.getName();
//判断标签是否为requestFocus[1]。requestFocus标签于指定屏幕内的焦点View
if (TAG_REQUEST_FOCUS.equals(name)) {
parseRequestFocus(parser, parent);
//判断标签是否为tag。
//设置一个文本标签。可以通过View.getTag()或 for with View.findViewWithTag()检索含有该标签字符串的View。
//但一般最好通过ID来查询View，因为它的速度更快，并且允许编译时类型检查。
} else if (TAG_TAG.equals(name)) {
parseViewTag(parser, parent, attrs);
//判断标签是否为include。
} else if (TAG_INCLUDE.equals(name)) {
if (parser.getDepth() == 0) {
throw new InflateException("<include /> cannot be the root element");
}
parseInclude(parser, context, parent, attrs);
//判断标签是否为merge。如果是，则直接抛出异常，因为Merge必须为根元素，也就是深度为0的节点。
} else if (TAG_MERGE.equals(name)) {
throw new InflateException("<merge /> must be the root element");
} else {
//没啥奇奇怪怪标签了。又出现了这个createViewFromTag()方法。这个方法其实就是根据标签（节点名）称创建View。
final View view = createViewFromTag(parent, name, context, attrs);
final ViewGroup viewGroup = (ViewGroup) parent;
final ViewGroup.LayoutParams params = viewGroup.generateLayoutParams(attrs);
//加载标签的内子类
rInflateChildren(parser, view, attrs, true);
//将该view添加进Parent布局
viewGroup.addView(view, params);
}
}
//通知父View，解析完成。
if (finishInflate) {
parent.onFinishInflate();
}
}
我们点击进入rInflateChildren()方法，发现其实也是调用的rInflate()方法：
final void rInflateChildren(XmlPullParser parser, View parent, AttributeSet attrs,
boolean finishInflate) throws XmlPullParserException, IOException {
rInflate(parser, parent, parent.getContext(), attrs, finishInflate);
}
（二）createViewFromTag()解析
View createViewFromTag(View parent, String name, Context context, AttributeSet attrs,
boolean ignoreThemeAttr) {
//解析view标签，注意哦，是view不是View，这个标签一般大家不太常用。[2]
if (name.equals("view")) {
name = attrs.getAttributeValue(null, "class");
}
//如果需要该标签与主题相关，需要对context进行包装，将主题信息加入context包装类ContextWrapper
//好吧其实我不知道这个是什么鬼，哈哈哈
if (!ignoreThemeAttr) {
final TypedArray ta = context.obtainStyledAttributes(attrs, ATTRS_THEME);
final int themeResId = ta.getResourceId(0, 0);
if (themeResId != 0) {
context = new ContextThemeWrapper(context, themeResId);
}
ta.recycle();
}
//TAG_1995="blink"
if (name.equals(TAG_1995)) {
//BlinkLayou继承自FrameLayout，它包裹的内容会一直闪烁。[3]
return new BlinkLayout(context, attrs);
}
try {
View view;
if (mFactory2 != null) {
view = mFactory2.onCreateView(parent, name, context, attrs);
} else if (mFactory != null) {
view = mFactory.onCreateView(name, context, attrs);
} else {
view = null;
}
if (view == null && mPrivateFactory != null) {
view = mPrivateFactory.onCreateView(parent, name, context, attrs);
}
if (view == null) {
final Object lastContext = mConstructorArgs[0];
mConstructorArgs[0] = context;
try {
//indexOf()的用法：
//返回字符中indexof（string）中字串string在父串中首次出现的位置，从0开始！没有返回-1。
//下面判断语句是对自定义View和原生的控件进行判断。如果name中包含.即为自定义View，否则为原生的View控件
//例如：<Button>
if (-1 == name.indexOf('.')) {
view = onCreateView(parent, name, attrs);
} else {
//自定义控件，例如： <com.xxx.xxx.MyView>
view = createView(name, null, attrs);
}
} finally {
mConstructorArgs[0] = lastContext;
}
}
return view;
} catch (InflateException e) {
throw e;
} catch (ClassNotFoundException e) {
final InflateException ie = new InflateException(attrs.getPositionDescription()
+ ": Error inflating class " + name, e);
ie.setStackTrace(EMPTY_STACK_TRACE);
throw ie;
} catch (Exception e) {
final InflateException ie = new InflateException(attrs.getPositionDescription()
+ ": Error inflating class " + name, e);
ie.setStackTrace(EMPTY_STACK_TRACE);
throw ie;
}
}
[2]view相当于所有控件标签的父类一样，可以设置class属性，这个属性会决定view这个节点会变成什么控件。
<view
class="RelativeLayout"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"></view>
[3]blink这个标签很有好玩，大家可以自己试试下面的代码：
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:orientation="vertical">
<blink
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
>
<TextView
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:text="一闪一闪亮晶晶"
android:textSize="18sp"
android:textColor="@android:color/holo_orange_light"
/>
</blink>
</LinearLayout>
我们看到mFactory 和mFactory2 ，他们的类型是Factory和Factory2。而实际上Factory和Factory2都是一个接口，需要自己实现，并且Factory2继承自Factory，从而扩展出一个参数，就是增加了该节点的父View。
public interface Factory2 extends Factory {
public View onCreateView(View parent, String name, Context context, AttributeSet attrs);
}
那么这两个Factory是用来干嘛的呢？Factory和Factory2其实LayoutInflater解析View时的一种扩展实现，可以额外的对View处理，设置Factory和Factory2需要通过setFactory()或者setFactory2()来实现。
有没有个具体例子演示一下？鸿洋大神给过一个例子，我稍作修改了代码。xml中有一个TextView，但是经过下面代码修改，将TextView变成了Button：
public class MainActivity extends AppCompatActivity
{
private static final String TAG = "MainActivity";
@Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState)
{
LayoutInflaterCompat.setFactory(LayoutInflater.from(this), new LayoutInflaterFactory()
{
@Override
public View onCreateView(View parent, String name, Context context, AttributeSet attrs)
{
//这这这，小哥哥我在这~
if (name.equals("TextView"))
{
Button button = new Button(context, attrs);
return button;
}
}
return null;
}
});
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);
}
具体查看：Android 探究 LayoutInflater setFactory
需要强调一点，LayoutInflater内部定义了一个boolean类型的mFactorySet开关，其值默认值为false，当我们调用过setFactory()或者是setFactory2()后mFactorySet为true，若我们再次调用这俩方法时会抛出异常，也就是说每一个LayoutInflater实例对象只能赋值一次Factory，若再想赋成其他值只能通过反射先把mFactorySet的值置为false防止抛异常。具体的大家可以去看setFactory()和setFactory2()代码，我这边不叙述了。
我们前面代码标注过，如果是原生控件，那它走:
view = onCreateView(parent, name, attrs);
我们点击方法看一下：
protected View onCreateView(View parent, String name, AttributeSet attrs)
throws ClassNotFoundException {
return onCreateView(name, attrs);
}
再点进去onCreateView()看下：
protected View onCreateView(String name, AttributeSet attrs)
throws ClassNotFoundException {
return createView(name, "android.view.", attrs);
}
我们可以看到标签名自动帮我们加上了”android.view”，再点进createView()方法，发现最终该原生控件走的是和自定义控件一样的createView()方法。这个方法有点长，大家坚持一会儿，本章快结束了。
public final View createView(String name, String prefix, AttributeSet attrs)
throws ClassNotFoundException, InflateException {
// 以View的name为key, 查询构造函数的缓存map中是否已经存在该View的构造函数.
Constructor<? extends View> constructor = sConstructorMap.get(name);
//verifyClassLoader()判断ClassLoader是否安全
if (constructor != null && !verifyClassLoader(constructor)) {
constructor = null;
sConstructorMap.remove(name);
}
Class<? extends View> clazz = null;
try {
Trace.traceBegin(Trace.TRACE_TAG_VIEW, name);
// 找不到缓存的构造方法
if (constructor == null) {
// 如果传入的第二个参数prefix为null，就说明name是完整的包名，是自定义控件，直接反射加载自定义View。
//如果第二个参数不为 null，就由前缀+name组成完整的类名。
clazz = mContext.getClassLoader().loadClass(
prefix != null ? (prefix + name) : name).asSubclass(View.class);
// 如果有自定义的过滤器并且加载到字节码,则通过过滤器判断是否允许加载该View
if (mFilter != null && clazz != null) {
boolean allowed = mFilter.onLoadClass(clazz);
if (!allowed) {
failNotAllowed(name, prefix, attrs);
}
}
// 得到构造函数
constructor = clazz.getConstructor(mConstructorSignature);
constructor.setAccessible(true);
// 缓存构造函数
sConstructorMap.put(name, constructor);
} else {
if (mFilter != null) {
// 过滤的map是否包含了此类名
Boolean allowedState = mFilterMap.get(name);
if (allowedState == null) {
//加载Class对象操作
// New class -- remember whether it is allowed
clazz = mContext.getClassLoader().loadClass(
prefix != null ? (prefix + name) : name).asSubclass(View.class);
//判断Class是否可被加载
boolean allowed = clazz != null && mFilter.onLoadClass(clazz);
mFilterMap.put(name, allowed);
if (!allowed) {
failNotAllowed(name, prefix, attrs);
}
} else if (allowedState.equals(Boolean.FALSE)) {
failNotAllowed(name, prefix, attrs);
}
}
}
Object[] args = mConstructorArgs;
args[1] = attrs;
//如果过滤器不存在，直接实例化该View
final View view = constructor.newInstance(args);
//如果View属于ViewStub那么需要给ViewStub设置一个克隆过的LayoutInflater
if (view instanceof ViewStub) {
// Use the same context when inflating ViewStub later.
final ViewStub viewStub = (ViewStub) view;
viewStub.setLayoutInflater(cloneInContext((Context) args[0]));
}
return view;
} catch (NoSuchMethodException e) {
final InflateException ie = new InflateException(attrs.getPositionDescription()
+ ": Error inflating class " + (prefix != null ? (prefix + name) : name), e);
ie.setStackTrace(EMPTY_STACK_TRACE);
throw ie;
} catch (ClassCastException e) {
// If loaded class is not a View subclass
final InflateException ie = new InflateException(attrs.getPositionDescription()
+ ": Class is not a View " + (prefix != null ? (prefix + name) : name), e);
ie.setStackTrace(EMPTY_STACK_TRACE);
throw ie;
} catch (ClassNotFoundException e) {
// If loadClass fails, we should propagate the exception.
throw e;
} catch (Exception e) {
final InflateException ie = new InflateException(
attrs.getPositionDescription() + ": Error inflating class "
+ (clazz == null ? "<unknown>" : clazz.getName()), e);
ie.setStackTrace(EMPTY_STACK_TRACE);
throw ie;
} finally {
Trace.traceEnd(Trace.TRACE_TAG_VIEW);
}
}
具体的注释我写在代码里了，大家自行查阅。希望看完文章，大家花个两分钟思考一下LayoutInflate的一些主要方法的作用是什么、xml是怎么转变成view的。有机会我会再开一篇文章，讲讲LayoutInflater的一点实战内容。
